I
have been looking forward
to the summer. For some
reason, this winter seemed to
last an inordinately long time.
So, here we are at last.

The festivals are back, of
course, and we have our usual preview of what
you can expect, from page 10. There’s a new
food and drink festival for you to enjoy this year,
joining the comedy, carnivals and live music.

Contents
A fantastic service tackling isolation in the
community, providing companionship, advice
and a place to go, is featured on page 26; and
a scheme encouraging firms to pay the London
Living Wage to employees is up-and-running
(page 24).
Oh, and one of my favourite places in the
borough, the Bunny Park, is featured on page 19.
